Description

At the teaparty we are five girlfriends, meeting to play cards. Earlier we were six, Alice just shoved the group. She said something like; we should not decide who she is, whatever that means. We may be a little mean to each other, but sometimes, that’s how girlfriends behave. We must be able to tell the truth, otherwise we are not there for each other.

But maybe she is right? Do we live in the truth or have we lived in a lie for so long that it has become our reality?

You are not to decide who you are! Quote: Alice

The teaparty is about testing ones power to define others. No one control how they are seen, although everybody wants to decide how to be identified, for themselves. Through mockery and gossip, players build each others identities and they’ll all feel the terror from when the group sets the tone for who you are.

When the fear of loss of face becomes too heavy, there is an escape, but not out of the group. In a dreamlike logic, a player can force the party down the rabbit hole - and into wonderland. The party continues, but on more absurd and obscene visions.

Through a workshop, each character of the other players is defined so that everyone gets to know and feel ownership of the characters to be played.

Through meta techniques and physical elements there will be kept track of mockery and loss of image.
